Fate: Part 1 (Twilight)

As usual, it was a rainy day in Washington. The rain was hitting Nina and Kianna hard even as they cowered beneath the covered waiting area.

"Hey Nina, what's the time?" Kianna asked as she tapped her foot impatiently and squinted her eyes in a failed attempt to spot the nearing ferry.

"It's 12:23, stop being so impatient. It'll be here on time, it always is." Nina replied with a roll of her eyes at her friend. And as Nina had claimed, the ferry arrived right as the clock turned 12:30. The two girls joined the hurried crowd onto the ferry, quickly surveying what available seats were left. Unfortunately they had been one of the last ones to board the ferry, so all the booths were already taken. A frown graced Kianna's face as she contemplated the thought of sitting in one of the single seats or the uncomfortable tables at the eating area when a nudge from Nina drew her attention to a semi-empty booth. The booth was occupied by only two people: two, dark-skinned, teenage boys reclining on seats across from each other. They seemed to be in deep conversation from the way their bodies leaned forward towards each other and Nina began to consider if interrupting their conversation with their presence was such a good idea, but before she could make a decision Kianna strutted towards the two boys and took a seat near the seemingly younger one. Nina followed uncertainly as she saw the boys suddenly turn their attention towards her friend.

"Umm girl, what do you think you're doing? Can't you see that this booth is occupied?" the taller and more built of the two ground out.

Kianna just rolled her eyes, "Yeah, well can't you see that there are also no other booths freeee? Sheesh, did anyone ever teach you that sharing is caring?" she emphasized this with a cross of her arms across her chest. Nina began to feel really uncomfortable now as she saw the seemingly older boy grit his teeth at her friend, but she then noticed the younger and kinder-looking boy touch her arm lightly and look at her in such a caring way. A blush instantly crawled upon her cheeks as the boy's unusually warm skin made contact with hers.

"Jacob, calm down. Let the girls sit with us, we can pick up on our conversation later anyways. Plus they're cute." The younger one gave a playful wink towards Nina, creating another onset of hot, crimson cheeks.

The boy now known as 'Jacob' rolled his eyes and gruffly turned away from Kianna, but no longer argued with her. Nina now sat down next to the clearly friendlier boy who turned towards her with a dazzling smile gracing his lips, "Hey I'm Seth. Seth Clearwater. Sorry my friend was such a jackass, he gets like that sometimes."

"Oh umm, yeah it's fine I'm just sorry that my friend, Kianna, was so intrusive on your guy's conversation earlier," she shot a quick, irritated glance at Kianna who just blew it off with a wave of her hand, "I'm Nina by the way." Seth grinned, flashing a set of dazzling yet dangerous white, sharp teeth.

"So what brings you two ladies to Seattle on this awfully rainy Saturday afternoon anyways?" Seth continued, his brown eyes continuing to pierce the chocolate ones of Nina.

Before Nina could answer though, Kianna cut in, "Shopping of course! What else would two loaded girls be up to in Seattle?" Nina instantly buried her face into the palms of her hands at her friend's conceited manner.

"Ummm, what she means by loaded is umm... Well-off!" Nina blurted in an attempt to compensate for Kianna's big mouth. Kianna just laughed loudly at Nina's modest-ness but didn't speak any further, busying herself with her iPhone instead.

Seth's eyes softened at how down to earth Nina was in comparison to her rather flamboyant friend, "No worries, we're not going to judge you. I mean, we all have something unique about us right?" she saw a quick flash of emotions go through his eyes and began to wonder just who these two guys they were sitting with were? Jacob raised an eyebrow at Seth's comment but continued to keep to himself.
